Why does ajax post request for the controller not work?

Question

I am using codeigniter, I needed to execute a function(parm1) of the model in the view, so as recommended I made a request for the controller, in the controller I read the model and call the function.

I am debugging (error_log), inside the method I call in the request.

[controller]

class BaseController extends CI_Controller {

    public function getAgendaDate()
    {
        error_log('herre');
        $this->load->model('agenda_model');
        $this->agenda_model->getAgendaDate();
    }
}

However, I get status 200 ok in the request, but nothing is printed for my log file, hence I conclude that it is not entering the function. In response, from the request I receive my home.php when I should receive the result of a query. Remember that the post got status 200, but did not enter the method I called.

[view]

$.ajax({
    url: "basecontroller/getagendadate",
    type: "POST", //send it through get method
    data: { 
        date: '02-02-2019'
    },
    success: function(response) {
                   console.log(response);
            },
    error: function(xhr) {
            //Do Something to handle error
            console.log(xhr)
        }
    });

Codeigniter 3.1

Does anyone have any idea what’s going on?

Answer 1

Hello, good morning! You need to call the full path of the URL in the parameter url, within your view, so:

$.ajax({
    url: "<?=site_url('basecontroller/getAgendaDate')?>", // <--- OBSERVE AQUI
    type: "POST",
    data: { 
        date: '02-02-2019'
    },
    success: function(response) {
                   console.log(response);
            },
    error: function(xhr) {
            //Do Something to handle error
            console.log(xhr)
        }
    });

It’s easier to use that way

$.post('<?=base_url("basecontroller/getagendadate")?>', {
                parametro1: parametro1,
                parametro2: parametro2
},function(data){
    if(data){
        console.log('ok');
    }
});
